Obama IS NOT even close to Reagan...why:
1) Reagan REDUCED Gov't spending (*** Removing Social Security/Medicare expenses from his budget*
2) Reagan REDUCED Gov't size
3) Reagan REDUCED Taxes (targeted the rich for the larger decreases to increase their personal spending, 'cause when you tax the rich harder, they spend more time hiding what they have then spending it)
4) Reagan continued the Gov't trend to leave industry alone (ie move away from regulation which hinders growth)
Now, what part of that is Obama...answer, NONE. The banks and auto industry are "scrambling" to repay the debt because they now realize Obama isn't concerned about help as much as ultimate control. Don't believe me, ask former GM CEO Wagoner. He's out of control with spending, his Czars are a bunch of idiots trying to run businesses they have no practical experience in running and all the while O is running around the world like some Paris Hilton wanna-be.
